It looks like Halcyon Horizons Inc. finally made the Exempt List. It appears to be a name change though, not a new entity creation. The EIN is the same as the one that was assigned to NARCONON NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, which is not longer in the database, up until it's last 990 in 2013. EIN's are never reused for a new entity, only reassigned to a new name for the existing entity:

Probably. Some pretty high compensation levels for the directors. Notice they did a "compensation comparison" with comparable institutions using 990's from GuideStar and ERI. I'll bet all of those comparable institutions were other narCONons.

I saw this forum and literally made an account to respond to this specifically. I was at the Huntington House in August and September, and my withdraw group was literally the last to go through before they changed the policies. They're now doing book one at the withdraw house so they can put students right into the sauna when they get up to the center and this was literally right before fresh start basically ceased to exist. I was contacted by a former Nevada staff member (he worked there for almost three years and left a little over a year ago) when Warner reopened and he told me that all of the staff were being brought to LA to basically undergo training specifically for Scientology. He also said that staff members that were not willing to convert to Scientology and sign the billion year contract were fired, usually for things that had happened at one point or another but saved for this purpose.

I'm not sure if he had all of the correct info, so I was wondering what actually happened to fresh start?

I was at Narconon Nevada from July 2014-October 2014, and then at Warner from March 2015- April 2015 and went back to Warner this past August but couldn't manage to walk through the door after I went through detox at Pat Moorw and did my time at Huntington. Luckily I had a friend in Temecula who came and got me. But from what my experience was, and I was there relatively recently, the place was dirty and over crowded and the staff are all compulsive liars. Was not impressed.

Thanks for registering and posting here, sweetdee312. There's plenty you've stated that is disturbing. Earlier initiation of sauna is concerning, coercion into scientology via threat of loss of job is immoral and illegal, but some call it policy.

I can certainly understand why you couldn't manage to walk back through that door!

Huntington Harbor House was the location that was dirty and overcrowded?

Their license is for "Resident Capacity: 6 Total Occupancy: 10", so it sounds like they were running over. *shock*!

If they're folding up Narconon Fresh Start, they'll probably be unfolding it with a new name. Time to check the latest DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION BRANCH STATUS REPORT to see what new entity is running the same old locations.

If you click on the 'about' link to the far right, and just below, the 'Search' box it says the list is updated monthly. You have to scroll down quite a ways, but it's there, "Posting Frequency Monthly". It doesn't say when during the month though.
